knowing that passions run deep on this matter, i have what i believe to be a very simple premise for a discussion of how to read the bible.. terry has labored over the last couple of months to demonstrate (in my view, conclusively) that the bible is far from unaltered, and often mistranslated.

these facts, inconvenient as they might be for believers, are nonetheless, a problem for those who claim that the bible is the word of god.. this is not what i wish to discuss... rather..... jehovah's witnesses come from a tradition of "reading in" or "adding meaning" to the scriptures.

no one jw outside of the governing body is allowed to do this.. but why is it necesarry?.

So, if some person on the street randomly asked you to read a book he wrote where he talks about a man on earth being caught up into heaven, would you take him seriously?

Anyway.....

PROVE these scriptures unrelated - also, EXPERIMENT: do you see a message here??

by EndofMysteries in

whether you believe in the bible or not, these are not completely separate books with nothing related.. this is the tip of the iceberg, but i wanted to demonstrate why i believe there is a deep hidden message in the bible, and that its books are linked.. does the bible itself reveal who the king of the north is?

(the whole world is trying to 'guess' and 'interpret' and treat all prophecies as individual).

(warning: this could set off a chain reaction and your searching the entire bible linking and getting better understanding of many prophecies ;) ).

Uh.....

That's another thing I quickly learned, most religions people will pick 'one' scripture and make outrageous claims about it, yet in context it's obvious they are way off.

Yeah. I think you are on to something.

So, if there were Pharisee's in existance today

IF can't be your favorite word where truth is concerned. IF puts it in the realm of theory.

...also, the bible says that the disciples knew that Jesus was referring to the (oral) teaching of the Pharisees. (not the elders I might add)

Jesus didn't warn about the elders.

IF one wants to make that jump, one would be twisting the scriptures for their own viewpoint, don't you think?

Here is a simple response to Jehovah's Witnesses

*knock knock knock*

WE HAVE THE TRUTH!

"No you don't." (close door)

It's really not too complicated beyond that.

Did Jesus say to be aware of the leaven of elders?
